Venous Thromboembolism in Severe Community‐Acquired Pneumonia at High‐Altitude Areas: Prevalence, Risk and Outcome

open access: yesThe Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 9, September 2026.
In hospitalized patients with SCAP at high‐altitude areas, the prevalence of VTE is unexpectedly high and may be associated with poor prognosis. Early identification of high‐risk individuals and refinement of preventive strategies are therefore necessary to improve patient outcomes.

Three‐Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiographic Vena Contracta Area for Grading Mitral Regurgitation: Severity Cut‐offs From a Prospective Tunisian Cohort

open access: yesEchocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
Three‐dimensional vena contracta area (VCA) measured by transoesophageal echocardiography enables precise accurate quantification of mitral regurgitation severity. In a Tunisian cohort, 3D VCA showed strong correlations with conventional 2D indices and excellent diagnostic performance for severe MR, supporting its use particularly in rheumatic mitral ...

Duration‐Dependent Cardiac Effects of Anabolic‐Androgenic Steroid Use in Strength‐Trained Athletes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesEchocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
Anabolic‐androgenic steroid use is associated with cardiac structural remodeling and functional impairment in strength‐trained athletes. Longer exposure was significantly associated with greater reductions in LVEF and increases in LVMI and posterior wall thickness, while other echocardiographic abnormalities showed heterogeneous temporal patterns ...

Artificial Intelligence–Based Echocardiographic Assessment of Diastolic Dysfunction: A Systematic Review

open access: yesEchocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
AI‐based echocardiographic assessment of diastolic dysfunction demonstrates moderate‐to‐high diagnostic discrimination against invasive and guideline‐based reference standards and consistently resolves indeterminate classifications. Prospective multicenter validation, calibration reporting, and clinical impact data are required before routine adoption.

Cardiac Structure and Function and Pulmonary Congestion Across New York Heart Association Classes in Patients With Acute Heart Failure

open access: yesEchocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
Higher NYHA class was associated with greater comorbidity burden and worse cardiac structure and function at baseline in patients with acute heart failure. Despite these differences, echocardiographic abnormalities improved at follow‐up, and 180‐day mortality or readmission did not differ significantly across NYHA classes.

Ventricular septal defect and tricuspid and mitral valve insufficiency caused by penetrating trauma

open access: yes, 2018
A 28-year old male sustaining a penetrating injury to the subxiphoid area presented to the emergency department fully conscious and haemodynamically stable. The CT scan revealed a localized infero-posterior pericardial collection.

Segmental Snare Traction Technique for Helix‐Fixed Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Across a Repaired Tricuspid Annulus

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 1332-1334, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Helix‐fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80‐year‐old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26‐mm MC ring), and Maze III surgery presented with syncope due to atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Standard maneuvers failed to advance the

Differential effects of central blood volume loading and unloading on pulmonary diffusing capacity in humans

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 18, Page 7957-7970, 15 September 2026.
Abstract figure legend Central blood volume (CBV) is a key haemodynamic determinant of pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and its components, capillary blood volume (Vc) and membrane diffusing capacity (Dm,CO). However the contribution of CBV to DLCO regulation remains poorly defined. We investigated the effects of graded increases

Pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular dilatation independently determine tricuspid valve insufficiency severity in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension

open access: yes, 2012
Elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) causes functional tricuspid valve insufficiency (TI). However, the differential contribution of pressure load and right ventricular (RV) dilatation is not well established.
